CEOs Who Will Get Fired in 2013

Netflix and Zynga head the list of companies in need of change, but that doesn't necessarily mean executives such as Hastings and Pincus should be shown the door.

It's easy to do what Ballmer is doing: feign actual visionary change. That's all the Surface tablet and a traditional/touch-screen Windows OS is. It's not to say Surface is awful hardware (though you legitimately could) or Windows 8 is bad software (it's not, at least from cosmetic and basic-use standpoints), but it has not/will not wow people enough to change the game.

Meg says naturally, HP must do a smartphone. That's weak. And it's not much different at Microsoft. Apple made touch screens, smartphones and tablets the standard; Ballmer fell in line. No true innovation. Nothing new.
